[Help] Trying to get the host IP from web server

$

Ok, there are tons of ways to get IP addresses via Powershell:

What I have is a web server that has several IP's assigned to it as it runs multiple sites. I want to get the actual IP address of the server itself.

There are a ton of ways to get the IP addresses, but the one I found useful is:

(gwmi Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | ? { $_.IPAddress -ne $null }).ipaddress

It lists the IP addresses in a list and is nice an neat with no need to really mess with it.

Now, let's say I have a list of IP's like this:

10.224.97.40
10.224.97.39
10.224.96.36
10.224.96.34
10.224.96.32
10.224.96.30

And the actual IP address of the server is:

10.224.96.36

How can I just get that one IP returned KNOWING it is the server IP and not a site IP?

If I use another method:

[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses($env:COMPUTERNAME)

I get data like:

Address            : 509665290
AddressFamily      : InterNetwork
ScopeId            :
IsIPv6Multicast    : False
IsIPv6LinkLocal    : False
IsIPv6SiteLocal    : False
IsIPv6Teredo       : False
IsIPv4MappedToIPv6 : False
IPAddressToString  : 10.224.96.30

Address            : 543219722
AddressFamily      : InterNetwork
ScopeId            :
IsIPv6Multicast    : False
IsIPv6LinkLocal    : False
IsIPv6SiteLocal    : False
IsIPv6Teredo       : False
IsIPv4MappedToIPv6 : False
IPAddressToString  : 10.224.96.32

...and so on

There is no real way to tell which is the adapter address...

Using:

gwmi -query "Select IPAddress From Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where IPEnabled = True"

is worthless as it returns the IP addresses in an array:

__GENUS          : 2
__CLASS          : Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration
__SUPERCLASS     :
__DYNASTY        :
__RELPATH        :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 1
__DERIVATION     : {}
__SERVER         :
__NAMESPACE      :
__PATH           :
IPAddress        : {10.224.97.40, 10.224.97.39, 10.224.96.36, 10.224.96.34...}
PSComputerName   :

Any ideas?

Thanks!
